SIN CE PRESIDENT’S LETTER WE WENT INTO 2020 knowing it would be a year like no other, and friends, we were right. Early on in the pandemic, our members, volunteers, staff, and I were saddened that the year would not go according to plan. For Phi Delta Theta, those blows came in slowly. First, we saw Founders Day celebrations start canceling across the country. Soon we sent our staff to work remotely for what we thought would be a month, and then as time went on, the blows hit harder and quicker as universities sent our members home from their campuses. Finally, we decided to delay our General Convention and our pinnacle summer event, the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute. As these realizations tested our members and our staff, we paused to remember these words: Since 1848. For more than 170 years, this brotherhood has encountered wars, civil unrest, economic turmoil, and other pandemics. And since 1848, we have not only survived in the face of adversity, but we have thrived. The coronavirus pandemic has proven to be no different. We attribute our success to two things: (1) the resiliency of our student leaders, and (2) you. I cannot begin to express the deep gratitude that I As these have for your support in my first year as president of realizations the Foundation and executive vice president of the tested our Fraternity.

Starting as a newly initiated brother after going through recruitment during summer 2018, I have built valuable memories and connections.

At first, the idea of being founding members of a fraternity was very apprehensive. We didn’t know what the future would bring us nor what we were signing up for. However, through our expansion adviser’s guidance, he trained us to become the greatest versions of ourselves as the leaders of our chapter. After a few short weeks of training together, the rest was history, and we instantly became friends. Whether it’s the weekly photoshoots or the countless video game sessions, we have an inseparable bond that we solely owe to Phi Delta Theta. Through facing obstacles and learning to deal with differing personalities, we have learned a lot about leadership and what our positions mean for the future of New York Mu. We can honestly say that being a part of this fraternity has been both challenging yet rewarding at the same time. Since we are an emerging chapter, we are the new boys on the block, and therefore it is difficult to establish a reputation and a good one on top of it. However, we feel that with us two at the helm, Phi Delt will undoubtedly become the biggest and best fraternity that LIU has ever seen. As I’m sure all of you are, we certainly are Proud to be Phis!
